  A salt basin rather than a fishing lake: treat this page as orientation, not an invitation. The tide is the timetable on this water; two hours either side of the change usually fish hardest.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It is marked as a salt water body, which rules out most freshwater fish. Launching is possible: a slipway lies half a mile off. Nassau Bay Yacht Club sits half a mile away and handles boats. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lake Nassau at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at Pearce Lake are worth checking on the day.
